Sure, not a problem. If you do wind up dual booting 7.1 and 6.0.8, I would add the Desktop Manager extension to the 6.0.8 system folder. It allows System 6.0.x to use the Desktop DB and DF files that System 7 uses for storing data about custom icons, etc. Also prevents the automatic...

As @eric says, an SE can run 7.5.x, but it's too slow and uses too much RAM. I used to have an SE SuperDrive machine that dual booted into both 6.0.8 and 7.5.1. Used the 7.5.1 system folder once during the whole time I owned it. 7.0, 7.0.1, and regular System 7.1 are tolerable on an SE. But...

@Certificate of Excellence No worries about the threadjack. BTW: in 2001, I was 25/26, using my original PowerMac 7100/80... Had just gone back to the Apple II world. Built myself my dream //e machine. The one I desired back in 1988. Early //e with enhanced ROMs, AE RAMWorks II with 1MB...

Check to see if you can add one to your collection... Should be feasible now. (y)

Either the Macintosh Repository or the Macintosh Garden should have that listed. Looks like this is the one you need: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/24108-imac-g3-firmware-update-4-1-9 -J

Before doing anything, first try holding down the "C" key to boot from the optical drive. If that doesn't work, then, try holding down the mouse button at boot. That should, hopefully, cause the disc to be ejected. If all else fails, and you have a USB 3.5" IDE hard drive enclosure handy...

As of a few days ago. L-R: PowerMac G4 DA 466 512/120G config shown running 9.2.2; Quadra 950 136/2.1G/CD (runs 7.5, but not on, since, it shares the monitor and input devices with the IIfx); IIfx 8/500 shown running 7.6.1; Late 2011 MBP 2.4GHz 16G/1T, running 10.9.5. IIci, Q650, and SE are in...

Chris, Nice scores. Might as well go for it... Added the Q950 to the pile of Macs on and around my desk.

Have a couple of machines from the AppleFool site now. An SE dual FDHD, and a IIfx. SE came to me as a 1/52 configuration. Now a 4/160, like the SE SuperDrive I owned last year and early this year. IIfx was an 8/160 configuration. Now has a 500MB drive, and has matching FDHD drives...

Welcome to the asylum. Re: your MDD, I would consider updating OS X Tiger to 10.4.11. I'm pretty sure the Macintosh Garden has the Combo Updater file posted for download. If the PRAM battery is still original, even though it may be working, it's probably a good idea to go ahead and either buy...

Not a problem. Glad I could help identify the machine... As a comparison, here's an SE...

It's a 30... The character line where the floppy drive extends to the sides of the bezel, like the same character line on a IIci.

Met up with @AppaloosaMac from the 68kMLA forums in Wenatchee today. Took home these items: IIgs Woz Limited Edition machine that's donating its case to my current IIgs's guts A M1298 16" monitor Three Centris/Quadra 650 machines in various stages of repair A Quadra 950 that just needs a CD-ROM...

Something pretty simple. 1981-85 Volvo 240 Turbo cockpit...

Hmmm, that's weird. Usually, it's the drives that have this issue. Maybe the power suppy is a little weak, causing the drive to spin, but not read or write? If you hit control-reset, does the drive stop spinning? Also, do you hear the usual head chatter when it starts up?

Use a small knife and work around the edges, taking care not to damage the plastic. Pry up on it, and it'll pop out. Done it a couple times, when I've upgraded Centris 650 machines to Quadra 650 logic boards.

Sounds a lot like what user c00gr on the 68kMLA is experiencing with his LCIII... https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/performa-450-restore-no-chime.45028/

Or, in my case, old film cameras...

A couple MDD G4 machines for $50. A dual 1.25GHz FW400 machine and a single 1GHz FW800 machine. Gave the second one to James1095 over on the other forums. Kept the older one, since it runs OS 9 without needing the macos9lives patches added to the installation. It also had a Radeon 9000 Pro...

It should boot with 8MB of RAM. After all, 7.5 will boot on a Mac Plus with 4MB. The Nubus 601 machines do need four SIMMs, if RAM is added to the what's on the board, unlike the '030 and '040 machines, which can work with one 72-pin SIMM slot populated. Re: the no startup issues, I think...
